14 mths ttc had hsg this month praying that gives me my bfp
I'm having mine in a few days, hoping the same! How was it? Did you BD after?
I had one a while ago. It was not bad at all. I didn't even realize they were doing anything until I felt the dye in my tubes. I forgot to take pain killers beforehand, but it wasn't painful for me at all.
Some women have pain when they put the catheter in though, so I would take a couple of paracetemol before going in.
But, it was really quick and easy and I peeked and saw the pictures of my tubes, so I knew they were open before the doctor told me.

As for BD, I wouldn't BD right afterwards, but a day or two after should be ok. The dye supposedly makes things sticky, but you don't need to BD right away for that to happen. It lasts til AF at least.
They said not to BD in the fertile period because of the increased risk of ectopic. I thought about it and weighed my options and decided to TTC anyway. No luck though. It's really up to you though. If you do decide to TTC, make sure to keep track and if you have any symptoms of an ectopic, go get seen straight away.
